I can certainly help you - I have been doing this for many years, and have excellent references.


I charge ?30/hour if you are local, but the first 20 minutes are free in order for you to decide if I know what I am talking about - and can also help you to understand (so that you will not need me the next time!).


If you prefer, call me on 07973 269654 to discuss (for example, if you need to get files from a PC or another Mac onto your new machine)


Regards

Francis

I would personally question an engineer whom advises other forumites that it's OK to use illegal file sharing sites on a computer that is just as vulnerable to attack as a PC.

Hackers, Virus, Trojans, malware, keyloggers etc play a numbers game. Window users make up the vast majority of computer users, and so are the main focus for attack.

Two answers to 'safe'.

1) If you have an Apple computer, it cannot be damaged by downloading a rogue file. Windows is much more vulnerable.

2) There is a very remote possibility that if you did this a lot, you might receive a warning from your Internet Service Provider.


Note: many ISPs block the main Pirate Bay site (but there are ways around this).


Hope this helps.

      Should I buy a property that has multiple subsidence claims?

      By annie2023 · Posted

      I honestly can’t believe how TW operates. Just like the councils and UK Power Networks, what kind of people are they? I’ve cried my way through some projects because of having to liaise with these departments. No wonder I feel like running away every time their names come up. I first started thinking about walking away when I noticed the main water issue with TW (increased project time), the potential drainage problem, and the much higher insurance claims than what I was initially told, plus the ongoing issues. All of this increased my concern about the resale value. I don’t want this to become a liability instead of an asset. I’m now also looking at properties in Clapham, especially since it’s currently a buyer’s market.

      I do not understand why people leave valuable items out on the road and then are actually surprised when they go missing

      Well don’t buy in ED…  Other places which  don’t have these issues abit further out… with good transport links, unless you are determined to buy in ED. You might just have been unlucky with a greedy owner… problem is two fold, so I understand.. Owner has to by law, inform you of subsidence, knot weed etc .  Buyers market and any competent agent, should have know there would be problems…. Other alternative is to pay a buying agent..
